The Virgin, the Sibyl and the Emperor Augustus 

This illumination, attributed to the Limbourg brothers, depicts the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, a Sibyl, and the Emperor Augustus. It is a beautifully rendered manuscript illustration, typical of the exquisite artistry of the early 15th century. The detailed backgrounds and the figures’ elegant, expressive postures are characteristic of the International Gothic style. The inclusion of the Sibyl and Augustus adds a layer of symbolism, suggesting the prophecy of Christ's arrival and the subsequent impact of Christianity on the world. This illumination, likely part of a larger manuscript, represents a key example of the high quality and artistic merit of illuminated manuscripts produced during the Late Middle Ages.
